@ (H.A.R.T)protesta567.....The 'fans' were out of control....??
Who was said to have stolen a light plane from Taupo airport and started heading towards the Hamilton Stadium? A man named Pat McQuarrie. An anti-tour 'protestor'.
I really do not see how those who opposed the tour can't help but put the fan's in a such negative light, when we were just giving back what they were asking for after they stormed the Rugby park. They burst the perimeter fence in a matter of seconds, ran onto the pitch and threatened to go the whole nine yards in regards to taking an international matter into their own hands and consequently turning it into a New Zealand oriented problem; and it seems as though they were just expecting us to sit their and watch them ruin a large sporting event which promoted our national sport.
As what Robert Muldoon and the RZRU strongly advocated, politics and sport...Do. Not. Mix !
Ofcourse we responded violently to their eratic behaviour after the game was cancelled. They should've kept their drama for the end of the game and not ruined it for those of us who were out to enjoy ourselves.
for a person who had nothing to do with this tour but spend a good term and a bit learning about it its interesting to see new zealanders stand up for the rights of black/coloured people but not for our own maori.thats all i learned from this and i believe that both anti-tour protesters had point but so do the pro-tour i guess it just depends on what u believe
